Operating Instructions

When charging is complete – after approx. 2
hours – the mains/charging unit should be
disconnected from the mains and the camera
in that order. However, there is no risk of
overcharging.
With the 64MB SD memory card supplied, the
following recording times/number of pictures
are then available:
with monitor turned on
approx. 120 min/240 pictures
with monitor turned off
approx. 180 min/360 pictures
5. Close the door again, by pressing it down and
sliding it forwards until it locks into place.
Charge level displays
The battery charge level is shown in both the LCD
data field (1.18) and the LCD monitor (1.32) (but
not when the mains/charging unit is connected).
s sufficient capacity
S falling capacity
D insufficient capacity
d Replacement or recharging necessary
Notes:
Lithium ion batteries such as that used in the
LEICA DIGILUX 1 do not develop any “memory
effect”. They can therefore be charged at any time
regardless of the current charge level. If the
battery is only partially discharged when charging
commences, it takes correspondingly less time to
fully charge it.
Only load the battery if its temperature and room
temperature are between 10 and 35°C.
If the green LED flashes faster than at approx.
2Hz (2x per second) after commencing charging,
this indicates a charging error.
In this case, disconnect the mains/charging unit
from the mains and the camera and remove the
battery. It is not sufficient to simply turn the
camera off and back on using the main switch.
Ensure that the above temperature conditions are
met and then restart the charging process. If the
problem persists, please contact your dealer, the
Leica office in your country or Leica Camera AG.
Mains operation
You can also operate the camera from the mains
using the mains/charging unit, so that you will not
be restricted by the battery capacity. Connect as
described under “Charging the battery”.
Note:
When operating the camera from the mains, the
camera gets warm – this is quite normal and is
not a malfunction.
